Dakota Crescent apartment is interior design project completed by Singapore-based KNQ Associates.

DakotaCrescent公寓是新加坡KNQAssociates完成的室内设计项目。

The home owner wanted a light, contemporary interior – something akin to a minimalist style – which can also incorporate quirky finds he collected over the years. Since the apartment is situated on a high floor overlooking the cityscape, we selected a palette of grey-blue, white and browns to play off the marvellous views.

房主想要一种轻盈、现代的室内风格-类似于极简主义风格-这也可以融入他多年来收集到的古怪发现。由于公寓位于一层高楼，可以俯瞰城市景观，我们选择了一个灰色、蓝色、白色和棕色的调色板，以展示美丽的景色。

The living and dining areas can look conventional at first glance, but the design introduces ‘unrefined’ materials like cement screed and stone tiles and adopts a more ‘casual’ approach to the way things are arranged or fixed. In its purest sense, a contemporary style is usually very polished, so by leaving parts of the house in a raw state and by further introducing modern materials and furnishings, the look is far from clinical, a stereotypical view many people have of minimalist spaces. Natural materials are a must, so timber in its purest form are featured extensively as well.

起居和就餐区乍一看可以看上去很传统，但该设计引入了水泥石板和石砖等“未精制”的材料，并采用了一种更“随意”的方式来安排或固定事物。从最纯粹的意义上说，现代风格通常是非常完美的，因此，通过将房屋的部分置于原始状态，通过进一步引入现代材料和家具，这种外观与临床相去甚远，这是许多人对极简主义空间的一种刻板印象。天然材料是必须的，所以木材在其最纯净的形式也被广泛的特色。

In the master suite, the original open layout has been reconfigured to include a partition to better segregate the space, avoiding the usual walk-in-and-see-everything setting in new condominium units. Concealed space is an important consideration for every home, and this design here takes care of this requirement, adding additional cabinetry for everything from clothing to entertainment set-ups. Linen-like wall covering in a deep colour add a touch of warmth to the resting space.

在主套间中，原来的开放式布局已经重新配置，以包括一个分区，以更好地隔离空间，避免了通常的步行和参观的一切设置在新的共管公寓单位。隐蔽空间是每个家庭的一个重要考虑因素，这里的设计满足了这一要求，为从服装到娱乐设施的所有东西都增加了额外的橱柜。亚麻布一样的墙壁覆盖在深浅的颜色中，为休息的空间增添了一丝温暖。

Infusing each space with an individual personality, while maintaining a co-ordinated look has been achieved through a series of subtle references. The light in the study room hangs freely (with hanging cables and all) and the high-gloss white finish has been brought into this room from the living spaces to tie up the entire look. Even the same blue wall paint has been reduced several shades down here to cover the walls.

通过一系列微妙的引用，将每个空间都注入一个个性，同时保持一个协调的外观。书房的灯光自由悬挂(悬挂式电缆和所有的)，高亮的白色饰面从起居空间进入这个房间，将整个外观捆绑在一起。即使是同样的蓝色墙壁油漆已经减少了几个阴影在这里，以覆盖墙壁。

In the second bedroom, which also doubles up as a guest and reading/ music room, the Japan-made oak furniture help to create a cosy ambience. In summary, there is an underlying simplicity that unifies the design. We believe that quality pieces with clean lines in high-quality materials are timeless – they can endure as their very beauty lies within their simplicity. For more information visit KNQ Associates

在第二间卧室中，日本制造的橡木家具帮助营造了一种舒适的氛围。第二间卧室兼有客人和阅读/音乐室的双重功能。总之，有一个基本的简单性统一了设计。我们相信，在高质量的材料中，有干净线条的高质量零件是永恒的-它们可以忍受，因为它们的美就在于它们的简单性。欲了解更多信息，请访问KNQAssociates
